BANK. But here, upon this bank and shoal of time, We'ld jump the life to come.
BANKRUPT. Dainty bits Make rich the ribs, but bankrupt quite the wits
Time is a very bankrupt, and owes more than he's worth to season
For debt that bankrupt sleep doth sorrow owe .

Wherefore do you look Upon that poor and broken bankrupt there?
O, break, my heart! poor bankrupt, break at once! .

BANQUET. -

Macbeth, i. 2. v. 5.

- His words are a very fantastical banquet, just so many strange dishes. Much Ado, ii. 3.
The mind shall banquet, though the body pine: Fat paunches have lean pates
My banquet is to close our stomachs up, After our great good cheer
We have a trifling foolish banquet towards

There is an idle banquet attends you: Please you to dispose yourselves.
In his commendations I am fed; It is a banquet to me.
BANQUETING.

If you know That I profess myself in banqueting
BANQUO. -Thou art too like the spirit of Banquo; down!
BAPTISM.

Is in your conscience washed As pure as sin with baptism
A fair young maid that yet wants baptism, You must be godfather
BAPTIZED. Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized.
BAR. So sweet a bar Should sunder such sweet friends

O, these naughty times Put bars between the owners and their rights!

I will bar no honest man my house, nor no cheater

For Christian shame, put by this barbarous brawl

BARBARY.- He'll not swagger with a Barbary hen, if her feathers turn back

I will be more jealous of thee than a Barbary cock-pigeon over his hen BARBER. Hath any man seen him at the barber's?

-

No, but the barber's man hath been seen with him.

Stand like the forfeits in a barber's shop, As much in mock as mark
And cut and slish and slash, Like to a censer in a barber's shop
This is too long. It shall to the barber's, with your beard
BARE. - How many then should cover that stand bare!
Methinks they are exceeding poor and bare, too beggarly
Art thou so bare and full of wretchedness, And fear'st to die?

Would have walked barefoot to Palestine for a touch of his nether lip
And for their bareness, I am sure they never learned that of me
You barely leave our thorns to prick ourselves And mock us with our bareness
BARGAIN. - Take you this. —And seal the bargain with a holy kiss .
The boy hath sold him a bargain, a goose, that's flat

To sell a bargain well is as cunning as fast and loose.

A time, methinks, too short To make a world-without-end bargain in
Scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends.

No bargains break that are not this day made

Two Gen. of Verona, ii. 2.
Love's L. Lost, iii. 1.

The devil shall have his bargain; for he was never yet a breaker of proverbs
But in the way of bargain, mark ye me, I'll cavil on the ninth part of a hair
Lest the bargain should catch cold and starve.

BARGAINED, — 'T is bargained twixt us twain, being alone

BARGE. The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne, Burned on the water
BARK.-Mine, as sure as bark on tree.

How like a younker or a prodigal The scarfed bark puts from her native bay!. Mer. of Venice, ii. 6. Mar no more trees with writing love-songs in their barks

And make conceive a bark of baser kind By bud of nobler race

BARK. Even as a splitted bark, so sunder we: This way fall I to death...
I had rather hide me from my greatness, Being a bark to brook no mighty sea
Like a poor bark, of sails and tackling reft, Rush all to pieces on thy rocky bosom
In one little body thou counterfeit'st a bark, a sea, a wind

The bark thy body is, Sailing in this salt flood; the winds, thy sighs
Now at once run on The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark!
Leaked is our bark, And we, poor mates, stand on the dying deck.
Why, now, blow wind, swell billow, and swim bark! The storm is up
Though his bark cannot be lost, Yet it shall be tempest-tost.
Prepare thyself; The bark is ready, and the wind at help.
Let the labouring bark climb hills of seas Olympus-high
BARKING.The envious barking of your saucy tongue.

Than dogs that are as often beat for barking As therefore kept to do so
BARKY. The female ivy so Enrings the barky fingers of the elm

Sweet recreation barred, what doth ensue But moody and dull melancholy?
Purpose so barred, it follows, Nothing is done to purpose

Nor have we herein barred your better wisdoms

There is none of you so mean and base, That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
The strong base and building of my love Is as the very centre of the earth
I should prove so base, To sue, and be denied such common grace
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees By which he did ascend
Who is here so base that would be a bondman? If any, speak

To what base uses we may return, Horatio.
You base foot-ball player

'T is the plague of great ones; Prerogatived are they less than the base.
Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away Richer than all his tribe.

Come, basilisk, And kill the innocent gazer with thy sight

I'll slay more gazers than the basilisk; I'll play the orator as well as Nestor.

BASIS.

Lay thou thy basis sure, For goodness dare not check thee
BASKED. I met a fool; Who laid him down and basked him in the sun
BASKET. - Unpeg the basket on the house's top, Let the birds fly
And, like the famous ape, To try conclusions, in the basket creep.

Have I lived to be carried in a basket, like a barrow of butcher's offal?
BASS-VIOL. He that went, like a bass-viol, in a case of leather
BASTARD. - We shall have all the world drink brown and white bastard

When sorrows come, they come not single spies, But in battalions
Follow your function, go, and batten on cold bits

I'll have an action of battery against him, if there be any law
She's a woman to be pitied much: Her sighs will make a battery in his breast
Able to pierce a corslet with his eye; talks like a knell, and his hum is a battery
Make battery to our ears with the loud music: The while I'll place you
BATTLE. Besides I say, and will in battle prove, Or here or elsewhere

The battle with the Centaurs, to be sung By an Athenian eunuch to the harp Mid. N. Dream, v. 1.
Our battle is more full of names than yours, Our men more perfect
You shall hear A fearful battle rendered you in music

We would not seek a battle as we are; Nor, as we are, we say we will not shun it
Through their paly flames Each battle sees the other's umbered face.

I am afeard there are few die well that die in a battle

To demonstrate the life of such a battle, In life so lifeless as it shows itself.

Why do fond men expose themselves to battle, And not endure all threats? Timon of Athens, iii. 5.
The noise of battle hurtled in the air, Horses did neigh

Their bloody sign of battle is hung out, And something to be done immediately
When the hurly burly 's done, When the battle 's lost and won.

Now then we 'll use His countenance for the battle.

Julius Cæsar, ii. 2.

That never set a squadron in the field, Nor the division of a battle knows
Little of this great world can I speak, More than pertains to feats of broil and battle

His cocks do win the battle still of mine, When it is all to nought

BEADLE. I, that have been love's whip; A very beadle to a humorous sigh
Have you not beadles in your town, and things called whips?

Beads of sweat have stood upon thy brow, Like bubbles in a late-disturbed

I am as melancholy as a gib cat or a lugged bear

Foolish curs, that run winking into the mouth of a Russian bear!

Are these thy bears? we 'll bait thy bears to death

Stroke your chins, and swear by your beards that I am a knave.

Whose beard the silver hand of peace hath touched.

'T is merry in hall when beards wag all, And welcome merry Shrove-tide Do what thou darest; I beard thee to thy face.

If e'er again I meet him beard to beard, He's mine, or I am his

When you speak best unto the purpose, it is not worth the wagging of your beards
Your beards deserve not so honourable a grave as to stuff a botcher's cushion.
You had more beard when I last saw you; but your favour is well approved by your tongue.
You should be women, And yet your beards forbid me to interpret That you are so.
We might have met them dareful, beard to beard, And beat them backward home
His beard was grizzled, no? It was, as I have seen it in his life
The satirical rogue says here that old men have grey beards
His beard was as white as snow, All flaxen was his poll
